In this video, I walk through how I prep and paint HO scale 55-gallon drums, using the same 3D-printed drum models I sell in my shop.
This is a straightforward, bench-side tutorial covering:
Cleaning up 3D-printed supports
Wet sanding for smoother results
When (and why) to use primer
Hand-painting techniques for HO scale
Common drum colors and what they’re typically used for
These drums are designed and 3D printed by me, right here in my shop — they’re not mass-produced. I made this video to show exactly what to expect and how easy they are to work with once they’re on your workbench.
If you’re adding industrial detail to a layout, yard, or structure scene, drums are one of the fastest ways to bring an area to life.
👉 The exact HO scale drums used in this video are available in my shop:

I also have a related blog post that goes deeper into drum colors and their real-world meanings, if you want to get more intentional with placement and color choices:

Thanks for watching — and have fun at the workbench.
